See, it’s not only you Pt2.
Things Givers Don’t Like (Updated List)
You made it hard for me.
So hard that I decided to remove the original four and use the gold you gave me instead.
I went back and forth for over an hour looking for overlap, while choosing the most common and unique “Don’t Likes”.
The entire process was proof- “See, it’s not only you”.
We are so similar. We want to give.
But there are things we don’t like about giving. They don’t make us feel good about giving.
And sometimes, they stop us from giving altogether.
Generosity is giving more than is necessary or expected.
And as I read each email it was clear, you are generous.
Thank you.
